What are blahtex and blahtexml?

Blahtexml is a simple extension of blahtex, written by Gilles Van Assche. In addition to the functionality of blahtex, blahtexml has XML processing in mind and is able to process a whole XML document into another XML document. Instead of converting only one formula at a time, blahtexml can convert all the formulas of the given XML file into MathML.
